Going to 1st Tj. Pinang trip

[Love Fishing]

We're planning to go Tj. pinang for the 1st time and need some advice of what suitable gears and belongings to bring.

Thank you.

I've never fished there before myself so I can only give you some general advice based on the catch reports from various forums. Majority of the size of fish can be handled with PE 1-3 but you should consider taking a heavier rod due to depth and fast current you're likely to encounter there. (ie. your rod must be able to load up with heavy sinkers.) And if you're particularly aiming for monsters which is not uncommon there, you might want to bring at least a PE3-6 tackle. If you can, bring both a medium and heavy tackle with you. Prepare some wire rigs too in case you encounter toothy fishes like tengirris or barracudas. 50lbs mono leader should be sufficient for most uses.

Welcome to HLF Love Fishing and good luck!
